[00:09.76]Virgil Caine is my name and I served on the Danville train [00:16.70]Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again [00:24.23]In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive [00:31.47]I took the train to Richmond that fell [00:34.41]It was a time I remember, oh, so well [00:41.98]The night they drove old Dixie down [00:47.57]And all the bells were ringin [00:50.07]The night they drove old Dixie down [00:55.00]And all the were people singin' [00:56.74]They went, naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa naa na-naa [01:03.13]na-na-naa [01:06.34] [01:14.21]Back with my wife in Tenessee [01:17.81]And one day she said to me [01:20.78] [01:22.53]Virgil, quick come see [01:25.21]There goes the Robert E. Lee [01:28.37] [01:28.99]Now I don't mind chopping wood [01:32.58]And I don't care if the money's no good [01:36.35]Just take what you need and leave the rest [01:39.62]But they should never have taken the very best [01:46.39] [02:19.85]my Like father before me, I'm a working man [02:26.84]And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand [02:33.21]Oh, he was just 18, proud and brave [02:37.10]But a yankee laid him in his grave [02:40.89]I swear by the blood below my feet [02:44.07]You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
